Dave Cohoe played drums in South African rock band Seether. He was the original drummer and co-formed the band even when they existed under the name of Sarin Gas in 1999. The story ventured by Cohoe is as follows:

"It started off with myself, a bass player, another guitarist and a keyboard player. About a week later Shaun wandered in. To cut a long story short, the other guitarist and keyboard player left. A few months later the bassist also left, and we got Dale in during January 2000."

Dave Cohoe left Seether in February 2002 and was replaced by Nick Oshiro.
